Epic

The momentous occasion today was My Beloved setting off on his Epic Bike Trip, the Lang Way Roond, as blogged on Bike-in-a-box. They (he and his bike-coven of one colleague) are doing very well in terms of distance but have no idea how long it'll take so I am in full charge of the Offspring for the time-being. Tonight I informed them I was being Tough Mama (counterpart to Evil Daddy who puts them to bed on Tuesdays when I'm out with my rough knitting friends) and there'd be No Mucking Around at bedtime. And they both trotted off to bed as good as gold. Who'd-a thunk it.
